Recommendations for healthcare organization websites: towards demonstrating LGBTQ+ inclusivity in oncology care
摘要
In the USA, more people are self-identifying as members of the LGBTQ+ community than ever before, which underscores the importance of healthcare organizations and healthcare professionals ensuring LGBTQ+ individuals are accessing and receiving gold standard healthcare. When LGBTQ+ individuals receive a cancer diagnosis, they may seek to establish trust in prospective oncology services through exploring online content. Healthcare professionals and organizations are uniquely positioned to tailor website content to demonstrate LGBTQ+ inclusivity, but inconsistently apply known strategies to demonstrate LGBTQ+ inclusivity online. This manuscript provides concrete recommendations, with illustrative examples, for healthcare organizations and professionals to demonstrate LGBTQ+ inclusivity through their online content.
